RIO DE JANEIRO, August 1 /TASS/. Russian athletes do not feel any negative attitude from other Olympic teams in Brazil ahead of the Olympics start, Artyom Chebotaryov, the captain of the Russian Olympic boxing team, told TASS on Monday.

"The conditions are good. Boxes are undemanding. They like everything," Chebotaryov said. "The attitude to the Russians is good. Neither the team nor I have noticed anything negative. We have the support. A Russian delegation met us at the airport. It was nice, and I hope that our performance will make the whole world fall in love with us," the captain said.
